Amazed I get to submit this, especially from such a highly-renowned show. One of the best I've heard!

Last piece of this brilliant show to be submitted. Billy unleashes some wild, tribal bashing to cleanse our palette between DS and Eyes

Seems to have a bit more punch to it than usual...nice!

Musikhalle
